The Actor and The Athlete [A Kit Connor FanFic]

Chapter 22

Ali woke up in bed alone, slightly disorientated she grabbed her phone to check what time it was; 8:15 so where was Kit. She let herself wake up for a second before she text Kit to see where he was; his clothes had gone and so was his phone, Ali started to panic until she clocked a piece of paper on her desk with her name on it, she climbed out of bed and practically ran over to the desk, she unfolded the note that read

'Alexandra, I'm so sorry I've been called into work to do some reshoots. I will make it back in time for the final, I promise. 

Yours Kit xxxx

Ali felt her heart sink, she wanted to wake up with Kit, wanted him to be at her side until the last moment; he helped her nerves and anxiety so much. Ali also couldn't wrap her head around how he was able to leave without waking her up, she grabbed her phone and text him.

Text chain with KitKat🤍

Alexandra❤️: So, I guess you're some kind of super spy now, sneaking out without waking me up😉

KitKat🤍: Shut up😂 I'm so sorry I literally got a call at 6am and then had to have a car pick me up straight away!

Alexandra❤️: Don't be sorry, stuff happens! You should've woken me up I would've taken you

KitKat🤍: I wasn't going to wake you up on the day of your final to drive me to work! You also looked so peaceful I could barely even get out of bed, I just wanted to stay there with you🥲

btw you look so beautiful when you sleep😘

Alexandra❤️: Stop it🥺 I miss you, can't wait to see you later already, need you to calm my nerves!

KitKat🤍: I miss you too! Nerves are good, I think I'll be more nervous than you. Kick-off is at 3pm isn't it?

Alexandra❤️: Technically a netball match doesn't kick off 😉 but yeah, they close the doors 15 minutes before. I really hope you can make it but please don't stress trying to get here xxx

KitKat🤍: I'll be there I promise! Now go eat and do something to take your mind off the nerves xxx

Ali lied, she really wanted Kit to be there, needed him to be there really but he was right she needed to take her mind off the match so for 3 hours she sat and watched old episodes of Doctor Who before it was time to finally head to the arena where the team would be warming up and running routines before the final.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ali stepped into the arena and even though there was no crowd there, yet she could already feel the buzz in the air; the giddiness of the girls, laughing and joking knowing that no matter what, they would win or lose this as a team. The team really were her second family; they were all so excited when she had told them that Kit was now her boyfriend and they couldn't wait to finally get to actually meet him at the after party tonight, the girls were ready to let their hair down, win or lose.

It was now 1:15pm and Kit was anxiously stressing in his dressing room hoping that the director managed to get the scene finished, he had told them he needed to leave as soon as possible. Joe walked into the dressing room clearly seeing the anxiousness on his face.

'Kit, you okay?' he asked softly placing a hand on Kits shoulder

'Yeah, I'm fine I just need to get back as soon as possible, I can't miss Ali's final' he plonked himself down on the couch, clearly stressed as he couldn't stop bouncing his leg
